boom, but if the Northern Pacific road
ever changes hands, he claims Seattle
will be the big town in that country. At
this point they are building the finest
hotel to be found west of st. Paul and
north of San Francisco. A bitter rivalry
exists between Tacoma and Seattle, and

Joe was considered the grand holder

competing st. Louis houses to get man

stuck into their forehead. Down in the
little town of Bolivar Joe walked into
the hotel and found registered there
Charles Smith, who was marked for
call at 7:30 O'Clock in the morning. Joe
was alert at once and as Charles had
already gone to bed, he bribed
the porter to lock his cham

wasn't looking, erased the 7:30 and
made it 10 o'clock for the call. He then
ordered his trunks up. went out and
told a half dozen of his best customers
that he would have his samples ready
for their inspection at 6 o'clock in the
morning, and arranging to be called at
$50 went to bed. In the morning he
got up and began selling his customers
goods. He had taken three good fat
orders when the landlord of the small
caravansary was startled by loud ham,
mering on a door up stairs and blood
curdling yells. Up stairs he rushed,
and reaching the room shouted 'swhat'S

Let me OUT was the reply, nv

The landlord hustled round. got KEY
and let the irate Charley out. 1t was
nearly 10 o'clock and Charles turned
loose on the landlord, claiming he asked
to be called at $50 O'Clock. He ranted
around until the landlord threatened to
toss him out Of the house, when Joe,
who had been an unintereSted listener
to the row, stepped out of his sample

rumpus was about. AS soon as Charles
saw him he said: ''Joe Webster here?
That settles it. The drinks are Oh me-"

"WHEN the TRUE NoRTHERNER says that
the republican party was under no greater
obligation to support the prohibitory amend
ment than was the democratic party, il says
that which il knows TO be absolutely false v
Free Press and Courier. 1t is not usually
considered a very strong argument to accuse
an adversary of telling deliberate falsehood;
even fool could use that argument with as
much effect as our astute and learned con-
temporary. However, We are willing to
admit, upon reflection, that our statement,
heretofore made, was erroneous. The demo-
cratic party is the only party that ever
courted the whiskey vote of the country by
declaring in favor of the whiskey traffic, by
inserting in its platforms declarations against
all sumptuary'' laws, and the only party
whose candidate for the presidency ever
toaded to the saloon in politics" by pub
licly opposing all sumptuary legislation in
which euphonious term the democratic party
includes all legislation against "free whiskey."
If democrats were governed by the past plat
forms and traditions of their party and by
the public declaration of Candidate CLEvE-
LAND, they were not bound to vote for the
amendment. Sadly the NoRTHERNER con-
cedes the error of its hasty, but mistaken
assertion.

The expulsion of MILO III. DAKIN, fusion
member of the house of representatives from
Saginaw, seemed inevitable from the very
outset of the investigation. After the sworn
statement of the witness EATON and the sub
sequent admissions of DAKIN, it was difficult
to comprehend what defense could be urged
in his favor. The result proved that the
astute lawyers who appeared in his behalf
could do no better than to urge upon his
colleagues that he was fool instead of q
knave. That his actions were silly enough
to entitle him to such defense is entirely
true, but it is evident that the ninety -four
members-all who were present-thst voted
for his expulsion did not think his folly
was an excuse for his knavery. The verdict
was guilty on two of the specifications to the
charge, the second and third, viz: That he
the Saginaw charter bill, intending to appro-
pirate the same to his own use: That he made
out the list OF members with figures after the
names of certain members on the checked
roll call, such figures indicating dollars. The
vote on the first of the above specifications
was eighty-three yeas to eleven nays; on the
next specification all the members voted
guilty. A resolution of expulsion was adopted
without dissenting voice. This action on
the part of the house will be heartily endorsed
by the people of the state. In no other way
could the honor and dignity of the legisla-
now sink into his normal condition of mer-
tied obscurity.

SAYS our highly esteemed contemporary
the Free Press and Courier, 1.-The amend
ment is defeated while the state is republican
by 10000 Exactly, only the state is repub-
lican by "a 200 for the leading Office on the
ticket, justice of the supreme court for ten
years; yet the prohibitory amendment was
defeated 10y $3.50 votes. From these prem
ises, our b. e. C. argues that the republican
party is responsible for such defeat. But
the republican ticket lacked more votes of
having majority than did the amendment
and succeeded only by plurality vote.
The actual majority against Col. LONG, who
had the highest vote of any candidate on the
republican ticket, was, in round numbers,
IL 800, just about double the maiority against
the amendment, while the majority against
the balance of the ticket ranged from 1900
to 10000. In round numbers the highest
vote cast for any candidate on the republican
state ticket was 10000, while the amend
ment received 17S,500. 1t will be readily
understood from these figures, that the argu-
ment that the republican party is response
bic for the defeat of the amendment because
it carried the state by thirty thousand-has
no foundation upon which to rest. And the
fact still remains that ecery county in the
stdte-with one single exception-where the
democratic vote outnumbered the republican
vote, also voted against the amendment. This
single exception was Chippewa county, which
cast but 1,011 votes all told and gave the dem
ocratic ticket 173 majority and a majority of
in favor of the amendment of 116. The
fact is patent to the most casual observer
that the amendment would have been ratified
had not the democratic counties voted so
unanimously against it. A vote from those
counties averaging as favorable as the COM
bined vote of all the republican counties of
the state would have adopted the measure by
an overwhelming majority.

IT has sometimes been considered a shrewd
political dodge for the friends of an Office
holder to make an authoritative announce
ment that he-the O. his not candidate
for denomination, even if the same were
rendered to him with enthusiastic unanimity.
But the people have become so familiar with
such tactics that they at once set down such
announcement for what it really is, a link in
the political pipe that is being laid for the
express purpose of securing the very thing
that is SO ostentatiously declined before it is
offered. The oyerzealous henchmen of Mr..
GROVER CLEVELAND have been presenting
this old, musty, decayed political chestnut to
the American people for the past two or
three weeks, but the only impression made
thereby is that the president, aided by his
scheming party associates, is actively pulling
every string TO make sure his nomination
for second term. He thrust aside kingly
crown? Not if GROVER knows himself

IF the railroads could make money, and
they did, by carrying passengers for three
cents mile when wheat was worth three
dollars a bushel and everything else, includ-
ing labor, iron, machinery, ties, ETC., in a
similar proportion they can certainly afford
20 carry passengers for two cents at the
present time. In those days they would
carry man hundred miles for the price of
a single bushel of wheat; now they demand
and receive the price of three bushels for
the same work on their part. The talk that
they can't afford to carry passengers on the
trunk lines for two cents mile is all non
sense. OF course they won't carry at any
such rate, nor will they reduce the fare at all
unless the legislature, in whose hands the
entire matter rests, shall compel them to do
so. The people have right to expect this
relief at the hands of their representatives,
and if they fail to get it they will think, as
they will have reason to do, that it is owing
to the passes which the railroads, contrary to
the law as the companies themselves have
interpreted it, have furnished the members.

The NoRrHERNER hopes to see the pre-

Tue NoRTHERNER hopes to see the present
legislature enact county local option law,
coupled with more stringent taxation and
safeguards for the regulation of the traffic in
such counties as do not choose absolute pro-
hibition; but it fears its hopes are not to be
realized. The NoRTHERNER does not advo-
cate local option because it believes it prefer
able to constitutional prohibition, for it does
not, but because It'll the best thing that can be
had at present. 1t believes that it would be
better for a hungry man to accept half loaf
rather than have no bread, and that such a
degree OF prohibition as might be obtained
under local option would be preferable to
having the rum traffic carried on in nearly
every village in the state.

The official returns show that there was
an unprecedentedly large vote cast in Michi-
gan on the 4th day of April last for spring
election. The total vote. compared with last
falls election, shows decrease of only about
10000 votes. This decrease is nearly equally
divided between the republicans, the late
fusion party and the prohibition party. This
is not a very fattering showing for the latter
party, as il could not stand many such losses
without being entirely wiped out of existence.
There was a trife over five and one-half per
cent decrease in the total vote, which was
divided as follows: The combined vote of
the democrats and greenbackers, and the
republican vote each show falling of of
about three and one-half per cent, while the
